Had to scale a few things on the Performance, but I think I finished at 16:38. Great WOD!!!

Had to scale back on the overhead squats and power snatches… Felt very inefficient today.
Finished in 15:33 probably could have done more weight.
Great programming. Grueling WOD.

17:02 I think. Today was a very “off” day for me. Nothing felt good, except the wallballs. My snatches today for the strength portion felt off, I missed a rep or two with less than 50% of my 1RM. My shouders stopped working after the wallballs and my OHS were crap – I ended up taking off all the weight and just using the bar, and even then my lower back kept getting this twinge of pain, which I imagine was from my butt wink (tight hamstrings), and my shoulders felt really weak today. Very weird, but I made it through.

Oh well, tomorrow is a new day.

A. 95
B 24+ minutes. Ego got me big time today. I knew I probably should scale before even starting but decided to give Rx a try. Then was too stubborn to drop the weight, even though I knew I should, until everyone else was done and I was at 15 OHS and fabulous Coach Juli called me on my stupidity. I then dropped my weights to 95lbs. Bad CrosFitter today

A: 55
B: 18:36; did American Swings for pull-ups; only felt safe up to 17 OHS; did american swings instead of power snatches at the end. Maybe it’s just my lingering injury/fear of re-injuring but I think 30 OHS in a WOD is too many. Or I guess I could just do straight OHS more frequently to feel more comfortably doing them in a WOD, but they don’t seem to make it into the strength programming very regularly. Just something to consider I guess. Frustrated.

A. 90lbs
B. 18:11- All pull ups (but looking back I wish I would have done the American Swings- I feel like I would have gotten more out of those and I wouldn’t have re ripped my hand), OHS and Snatches at 65lbs…… Love these longer WODs!!!!!!!!

A. 75#
B. 18.26 -that was a tough wod! I had to do back squats instead of ohs because of my dumb shoulders not cooperating! I like these kinds of wods, once through for time.

This workout was tough haven’t done OHS in a long time. Frustrated at my ability to complete the OHS. Even did kettle bell Inatead of push ups. Hope my shoulders aren’t s screaming tomorrow.

A. Just did 35# today…still keeping it light for my shoulder on these, and I felt really off today.
B. 18:17 Performance – American swings for pull-ups, and ended up doing front squats instead of OHS. My wrists were not cooperating on those. WOD wasn’t as bad as I’d anticipated, but I tend to dread anything with wallballs.

A. Worked on MU. Got 7/8. Worked on swinging less.
B. 20:02 Sport…..Yikes!!! That was not so fun, but good none the less!!!
50 GHD’s
2000m recovery row

A. Level 1 -done
B. Sport minus chest to bar pullups. I did 5 then they ended up being just kipping pullups. Overhead squats felt super heavy, thought about scaling it back but left it at 95. Only could do sets of 2 or 3. Finished 19:58.

Attempted lifting today…failed terribly. Wrists hurt so started with squats. Did 5 sets of 3 reps at 155lb and it felt like crap. So I called it a day! Better luck tomorrow!

Muscle ups practice -decided to try with no false grip and it wasnt so bad…didnt rip up my wrists and i could string them together .
A few strict pull ups
Wod: @20 minute cap i had done 2 snatches. I finished the other 8 after the time was done. That was tough. Really close to puking.
